Hi Julie,


Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)


You may refer to our list of credit cards for pensioners and retirees. On that page, you will be able to compare your credit cards for pensioners and learn how to apply. There’s a table there that lists some of your options as well as their corresponding details. When you are ready, press the “Go to site” button to apply.


Please make sure though to read the eligibility criteria, features and details of the card, as well as the relevant PDS/ T&Cs of the card before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you.


I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.



Have a wonderful day!



Cheers,

Joshua
